RfA: A self-nomination (parody) (sung to the tune of the Major-General's Song)
- I am the very model of a modern wikipedian:
- I've knowledge of Greek drama, both comedic and tragedian;
- I know historic battlefields from Ancient Rome to World War Two,
- and neutral is the mode in which I always keep my point of view!
- I'm very well acquainted, too, with Polynese ethnology.
- I understand Samoan lore and Mā-ori mythology.
- From mountain peaks of Suriname to passes of the Great Divide,
- I see to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!
-
- He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!
- He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!
- He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wiki- wikified!
- Some people think my entries are little more than trivia —
- that episode of Barney or some woodwind of Bolivia —
- and yet, in matters great and small, high and low and median,
- I am the very model of a modern wikipedian
-
- In short, in matters great and small, high and low and median,
- He is the very model of a modern wikipedian!
- I SIGN all of my comments; and give summaries for each edit;
- I never BITE; I never POINT; I follow wiki etiquette;
- I assume good faith when wiki-flamed, and wear a thickened wiki-skin.
- For I am the very model of a proper wiki-citizen:
- I'm often found at village pumps discussing rules and policy,
- and judging notability while over at the AfD,
- In matters wiki-sophic, I'm no exopede inclusionist,
- but an incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!
-
- an incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!
- an incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!
- an incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusion-usionist!
- I am the very model of a modern wikipedian.
- I wrote this wiki-parody to ease some wiki-tedium.
- When dealing with my colleagues I'm a friendly wiki-editor,
- but the sight of trollishness makes me a vandal-stalking predator;
-
- When dealing with his colleagues he's a friendly wiki-editor,
- but when provoked he can become a vandal-stalking predator!
- Reverts and warnings I have made while on the recent change patrol,
- I play some cat-and-mouse with them, but now I want to block-a-mole,
- and so at last I must become a wiki admin-candidate:
- since I'm my only fan, I have no choice but to self-nominate.
- As prep for this I've learned about all bans and blocks and redirects,
- now I can tell you anything on SEMIs and full page protects,
- and when you hear all that I know of wikipede sysop-ery,
- you’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the mop-pery
-
- you’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the mop -pery.
- you’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the mop -pery.
- you’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the moppa mop-pery.
- Now the adminship, as Jimbo says, is really no big deal at all:
- many fail and so might I (my role in portal talk's been small)
- But still in matters great and small, high and low and median
- I am the very model of a modern wikipedian
-
- In fact, in matters great and small, high and low and median,
- He is the very model of a modern wikipedian!
